博主按：最近因为工作的关系，连续参加了好几个网络视频会议，会议大多是与美国的同行专家交流，因为时差的关系，大多在晚上9点后，或者临晨4点多开会，这也是咱不辞辛劳参会的见证。讨论了相关的问题。将会议的议程或相关情况转帖于此，留此存照。此文为5月28日召开的CIGR期刊政策委员会第一次会议的纪要。

Overview of recent developments of the CIGR Journal

For this purpose, the Journal is now hosted by the Chinese associations who are funding a professionally run editorial office for a period of 5 years.
Review of the Bylaws
· The name of the Journal shall be the CIGR Journal, by acclamation.
· The official language is English, by acclamation.
· A print version may be considered in the future. However, this will require a business plan to ensure that the Journal remains at no cost to authors and readers.

· Remove the number of people in article 3.2, by acclamation.
· Clarify article 3.4 to indicate that section Editors are appointed by the technical sections, by acclamation. The Editor can recommend candidates for section editors.

· Article 7.1 change “to CIGR” to “to the CIGR Journal”

Strategic Planning
CIGR’s online strategy relies in three support services: The web page (CIGR.org), the Journal (CIGRJournal.org), and the CIGR meetings and conferences proceedings (CIGRProceedings.org).
· Papers submitted to proceedings may be submitted for review to the Journal after the conference.
· Frequency of publication, will be Quarterly, this may be changed to Bimonthly in the future. But articles may be posted online immediately after the review process is complete and the final draft is accepted by the Editor. Chair will change bylaws to be consistent. Frequency of publication is delegated to the Editor who will keep the Board Informed.
· Journal format, two columns, is delegated to the Editor.
· Communications with Thomson Reuters. Standards are very strict. We will focus on meeting their standards while applying to other indexing databases (Elsevier’s Scopus, EI, etc.). The Editor will develop a plan to address indexing focusing on important indexing databases.
Issues related to quality improvement
· The Editor will develop a plan for discussion that addresses numbers, competencies and training of the Section Editors.
· An Editorial Board is proposed by the Editor to include wide representation from the membership. This is approved by acclamation. The Editor will present a plan on how to execute this.
· Reformatting old papers – Only papers starting from 2010 in the short term. Others may be considered in the future as workload and staff ratios permit.
· Submission. All the manuscripts will be submitted electronically online through the OJS. Currently cite references using Chicago Style, this will be maintained.
Copyright
Will need to study which philosophy we will subscribe to (Copyright by the author or the Journal). Board members are asked to investigate this for later discussion.
